RE: More money NY.,,,,here we go ..
that is a lot of money for our short season. I wouldn't mind so much if they would give us a longer season or add a later season in January like Ohio. I would even be happy with a crossbow season in January.

My point exactly ,
If the money was used for its proper intent , it would be fine .
I,d also like to see a week long muzzle loader or bow season deer of either sex at the end of the firearm season .
I ,m sure alot of hunters hold out for a buck and sometimes get nothing .
So it would give them a chance to put some venason in the freezer .

Personally, IMHO, we get a pretty good bang for the buck here. Considering I can get 5 deer, 2 buck, 60 days of big game hunting, two turkey, a bear, trout,salmon, all other fish and small game, my super sportsman is cheap.
My only beef is the dismall job the state does on stocking approved trout streams: not nearly as good as the EXCELLENT job Pa. does.

Crokit...maybe you get out more than the rest of us. I have a family and it is very difficult for me to get out every weekend. Wspecially when bow season was only 28 days last season. I am a weeekend warrior that truly loves to bow hunt. Conpared to most of the other states, we have a very short season. Look at Ohio, NJ, N or S Carolina to compare. Yea, I fish for recreation with my son, but I don't eat anything from Lake Erie, Niagara River or Lake Ontario. I live on the river and would not eat ANYTHING that swims in that water.I get the Conservation License every year and plan to this year too. It would be nice if our money went where it was intended and we could sqweek out a few extra weeks for the guys that can't get out every weekend. I know there are plenty of deer in my area.

NYbowhunter: I hear ya! Ever since I caught a bag of hospital waste{ syringes, I.V. tubes, transfusion bags } in 18 mile { ontario } I haven't eaten a fish from great lakes waters. However, I fish probably 6-8X more now than I ever did.
I'm happy with the length of our big game season-Gun-{ won't ever complain if it IS increased though}. Usually, by the time it's over, my body, and my wife, are thankful. So many states count there season in days, rather than weeks, which IMHO, accounts greatly for the B & C's taken there. Oh, Ia, Ill., Ind.,Ks. Neb., to name a few.

In case you fellows haven't seen it, your N.Y. 2008 deer harvest report is out, also bear. If anyone would like to start a new posting, it's at http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/42232.html I also have the site for the bear report, but I'm sure you guys are capable of finding it.

It would be allright if the money went into consevation, but it goes into the general fund and most of that goes to N.Y.C. Last time I looked there wasn't any hunting seasons there. It's not about to change until we get someone voted in from upstate ny and I don't think that will ever happen.
